I like the name a lot. I don't remember if I liked it at first. But now I clearly get the association with photo booth(and the reference to all of those 1 picture a day for 7 years youtube videos).
Me too, plus the "Daily" part reminds you you're supposed to keep going back.
Must be a regional thing, on seeing the name photographs was the first thing that came to mind - perhaps it's cause I can't afford to eat out at posh restaurants??
Yeah, probably, always is. Whereas I literally have to imagine what they even mean by "photo booth", I don't think I've ever actually seen a dedicated "booth" for photos. Unless they mean like those vending machines? I've never seen one of them in Australia but have seen them in Japan.
Anyway as long as their target market gets it - and they seem to, judging by the positive messages here - it's fine.
I guess the point I was trying to make was that "photo booth" is far from the first word association that comes to mind when I hear "booth". The first would be a table at a restaurant; the second would be a phone booth.
Whenever I hear the name I am confused and have to remember what it is. The mental concept that springs to mind upon hearing the phrase "daily booth" is, maybe, someone who visits the same restaurant every day, and insists on sitting in the same spot. Or maybe it's the blog of someone who posts a picture of a different phone booth every day. The idea it has anything to do with photos is kind of this late "oh yeah" arrival.
Anyway, whatever, what do I know, I also think youtube is an utterly ridiculous name...
Photo Booth is also the name of the built-in Mac OS X webcam demo app, which is probably known to a lot of their users. I would think of a ticket booth, too, but frankly I think the "daily" part is the weak link here. It's not engaging like the You in YouTube.
